Hub Sushi Fusion Japanese Restaurant located at 7398 Yonge Street in Thornhill
After seeing Clarissa and Kim dine at Hub Sushi Fusion Japanese Restaurant a while ago and being mesmerized by their delicious photos of sushi, I had placed this restaurant in my to-go list to try it out someday. The day came and the three of us were able to set up a lunch date on a Saturday to enjoy a sushi lunch and some quality time catching up. Continue reading
Kobi Korean BBQ Restaurant located at 100 Steeles Avenue in Toronto
We knew that we wanted to try the infamous Korean spicy chicken cooked over a grill with a melted cheese ring around it so we decided on a wintry Friday night to go to Kobi Korean BBQ Restaurant to check out how they made it here in Toronto. In my trip to Myeongdong, South Korea last autumn, I was blessed to be able to try the real deal there at Yoogane and it was seriously the best dining experience of my trip there! Continue reading

Rhine River, Germany. April 2016
Spot the name! This week’s photo challenge is about spotting a name in a photo. I have to commend Michelle this week for choosing and thinking of such a unique theme! Her photo of stamps on an egg was so unique — I’ve never seen something like that before. My photo this week is of a boat and as we all know, all boats are given a name! Spot the name of this boat. 🙂 Continue reading

SOCO Kitchen + Bar located at 75 Lower Simcoe St in Toronto
The sweetie was smart enough to make reservations for a second restaurant for us to lounge at and eat and drink until midnight for the New Year’s Eve countdown. The reservation was booked for 10 p.m. at SOCO Kitchen + Bar and we arrived there to wave good-bye to the last of 2016 and say hello to 2017. Since we were so full from our first dinner at O & B Cafe Grill, we didn’t end up ordering any food. Continue reading
